Description
The participants will be guided through the entire process of scientific writing, step by step. The online workshop starts with the first drafts of the scientific story, deals with the generation of figures and texts, and intensively discusses the contents and logic that reviewers expect from a good manuscript. The importance of interactions with supervisors and co-authors will be pointed out and, finally, problems with writing or publishing will also be dealt with. Participants will learn a method that makes scientific writing much more efficient and rewarding. Participants learn among other things how to prepare the writing phase, how to collect data and how to organize the order of writing. Furthermore, the participants learn how to write the single parts of the publication/thesis, and they get a guideline how to handle additional topics in the hand-out. Abstracts of the participants written in the online workshop will be corrected by the lecturer within four working days combined with an individual feedback.
The workshop is an onCampus event (1 date, full day).
